what foul fiend dreamed up these things? They seem to condense all the evil of food into one concentrated mass or gray villiany.

I ate one and my instinctive reaction was the cat hiss from Bride of Frankenstein.

Evil on a plate.

Jim Gaffigan does a routine about Hot Pockets.

You can watch it on YouTube

it's pretty funny. The Hot Pockets part starts at about 5:50

There's a yuppified version of these that I like to buy at our local co-op. It's so damn pricey that I can only justify the expense by splitting one with mr_cleome-- maybe once every ten days or so. Oh, well. At least it's a local manufacturer. [shrug]

I too have seen a yuppie marketed version here in Canada. It is called a Stouffer's Bistro Crustini

How do I know its a yuppie target? Notice the wonderful link at the bottom that gives advice on pairing wine with food? I've not clicked the link so I can't be certain that the wine that goes food comes in a 5 litre cardboard box.

You think Hot Pockets are bad, try Lean Pockets. Now 67% actual food!

The first time I saw him doing stand up, he goes:

Behold, the aforementioned yuppie hot pocket.

I'm indulging in one right now. It's been a long day. They don't actually sell the spinach pie variety where I shop. Maybe I should email them and whine about that.

Looks like you could make your own, and it would probably be highly palatable, if you've got a hand with pastry. Although that defeats the purpose of this kind of food - fast, convenient and only mildly disgusting (as opposed to borderline toxic).

I saw a sign yesterday advertising one of these slushy summer drinks that convenience stores sell: "100% Unnatural". The backlash to the healthy food movement has arrived, something like the Roseanne show proclaiming that we're proud to be ignorant.

On the other hand, perhaps there's a yuppie Twinkie, or yuppie versions of other crappy food. The organic Twinkie is a long-standing joke.

I have tried an actual upscale version of a certain popular snack cake, which I dare not name given all the connoisseurs of double entendres that populate this space. Whether it was capital-O "Organic" is anyone's guess.

[shrug] It was okay. I'm still more a Parisian macaroon woman myself, finances permitting.

I've come to the conclusion pretty much all pre-packaged foods should be avoided. Event he delicious but apparently shrinking Amy's pot pies.

The treatment they use on paperboard to keep it "freezer friendly' is apparently highly toxic and traces are being found in oceans, waterways and fish everywhere. NOT GOOD.
